Course Description:

'' With the introduction of many disparate but interdependent computer systems throughout the Defence community, interoperability becomes critical. Computer systems must be able to share and/or exchange data as necessary in response to evolving operational needs. The pressure for such interoperability - across the wider Defence community, across all Sectors, and through into NATO - continues to increase. In practice, future systems must base their information exchange on a common data structure.

The Defence Command and Army Data Model (DCADM) provides a basis for interoperability for Defence IS projects. Each project that adopts the DCADM, either as its data structure or as its structure for information exchange, will have the ability to share and exchange data with other systems without the burden of negotiating, developing or maintaining bilateral interfaces.

This course reviews the background to the DCADM and then discusses the problems it seeks to resolve and its impact on projects. It addresses how the DCADM reduces or removes the need for certain deliverables and tasks, and where significant and different deliverables and emphasis are required. The course comprises a mix of teaching sessions, discussion and practical work to reinforce the principles. Of significance to project development staff is the discussion of the emerging Corporate Business Modelling Language (CBML).

This course provides an essential insight into the use of the DCADM.

Who should attend:

This course is aimed at all staff who need to be aware of the implications of DCADM-based projects, including both MOD and external staff.
